Chapter 184, the nine-character seal
The whole thing will have something to do with the death assistant, which is not too surprising to me, since the old man Qi Zhen mentioned the king of the war, I began to doubt. Now I just found evidence to support my suspicions.
I must look up the death assistant, but before I can do so, I must first rescue the pregnant nun in the basement.
After leaving Huang Wulong's secret room, Wu Xin and I went directly to the nun's room. The people I had arranged to search the mansion didn't seem to have come to her room yet, and the contents were there, and I soon found the incense burner on the bedside table.
Take a closer look at it in my hand, this thing does look a bit like a tripod, but the surface of this tripod is not attached to the yin qi, nor does it have that color of breath, I am not sure that I can save the nun with this thing.
In this room there is also a portrait, an oil painting of the Virgin. There is a faint smell of color on this painting. I simply took the painting down and went to the meeting point I had agreed with the others.
When we arrived at the meeting point, it was already full of all kinds of antiques and picture frames, and people were moving similar things here one after another. I first asked them to sort things into categories, the paintings were divided into one side, the antiques were placed on the other, and then I picked out the things that had a lingering smell of coloring from each category.
Although this work is simple, it is very time-consuming, so I also asked Wu Xin to take a closer look at the written materials she took out from Huang Wulong's secret room to see if there would be more gains.
I picked out a total of ten paintings. Including the portrait of the Virgin that I took out in the nun's room, and the painting of the girl in the room where I lived, these ten paintings have different contents and different styles, and the only connection between them is that they all have a haunting atmosphere, and I can't see any other doorway.
After all, one person's brain power and experience are limited, so I asked other people to come along and help me look at these ten paintings. Let's work together.
After looking at them for a while, a mustachioed man in his 40s walked up to the ten paintings, took out a knife and scratched them a few times, and then wiped them with spittle. Then he turned back to me and said, "There should be a 'mezzanine' underneath these paintings, which is 'picture-in-picture' in the jargon, and I think I should be able to get out the part that is hidden underneath." "Chastity Miscellaneous Throwing Skills.
"Is it roasted over fire?" I asked, because there often seem to be similar scenes in watching movies, a blank piece of paper, and the words come out on it as soon as it is roasted over the fire.
The mustache shook his head, and he said that the painting had been added to the original canvas with another film. After that, a new painting was stamped on the film, and in order to see the original painting, the painting on the back had to be completely cleaned. It may sound like a hassle, but the mustache says that all he needs is alcohol, burlap and some water, and that he can clean up all the paintings in five minutes.
The so-called employment is not suspicious, since he said he can do it. Then I'll help find something right away.
With the assistance of the butler, we found all the things that the mustache needed in less than three minutes, and he immediately started to deal with it.
The mustache didn't brag, and in less than half a minute, an oil painting was easily erased by him with an alcoholic burlap, and then gently wiped with water, and a new painting appeared on the canvas.
The process seems to be quite simple, but the mustache said that this job needs to master the strength, and the painting can't be erased if the force is small, and the canvas will be broken when the force is great, so it must be done by himself, and no one else can help.
Because the time he used was short enough, so I didn't worry, he wiped it one by one, and I also looked at it one by one, and when all ten paintings in the picture showed their original appearance, I also understood the qiē about the princess.
Ten paintings are like comic strips, recording a complete dynamic event. The first painting is a very beautiful young woman, she comes from a famous family, and it seems that she is still from a family of metaphysics, because you can see magic circles, magic weapons, and the like everywhere in the painting.
The second painting depicts a man and a woman, and it seems that the young woman from before has found a lover.
The third painting shows nine men kneeling in front of the young woman, as if to have made her a princess.
In the fourth painting, the princess is sitting in the main hall, the people around her are wearing Taoist robes, holding magic weapons, very majestic, there are many people gathered in the hall, everyone is raising their fists, as if they are shouting some slogan, I estimate that eighty percent is similar to "anti-Qing and Mingming".
In the fifth painting, a young woman stands alone in a gazebo at the foot of the canvas, while nine other men gather to drink and eat meat, each with an exaggerated smile on their faces.
In the sixth painting, the woman is no longer young, her face has wrinkles, she is still sitting in the main hall, but the hall is empty, and the only thing that accompanies the woman is her shadow, but the shadow looks like a yaksha, and she still holds a long-handled knife in her hand.
In the seventh painting, the woman stands in front of nine men with a large sword, and the nine men also hold their blades in front of a pile of gold and silver treasures, which means that the women are dissatisfied with the nine men's accumulation of wealth, and the nine men also decide to fight the women with their swords.
In the eighth painting, the body of a woman lies in the middle of nine men, and she is dead, bleeding all over the ground.
In the ninth painting, the woman is transformed into a green-faced and fanged demon, wielding a long knife and lying her body at her feet, while nine men scatter and flee.
The tenth painting has only one tripod, and around the tripod are nine candles, each with a special character written on the outside, like a kind of seal.
Seeing this, combined with the content of the book, the context of the matter has become very clear. The tripod I got didn't seem to be an incense burner, it looked more like a jar for ashes, and the nine candles and the nine characters were supposed to be a sealing spell, the seal that the nine men had placed on the "princess" before.
But just now I remember that when the princess woke up, there were eight fires lit up around her, and there seemed to be a word missing, so I told the people present about the situation, and these people immediately came up with the reason for me, because in this festival, including Huang Wulong, a total of 8 people who knew yin and yang spells died.
I don't think Princess Linghai is fully resurrected, she needs to unlock nine seals, but now she has only unlocked eight, and she still needs to kill a person who knows magic.
I don't know if Xi Lin counts, but the old man Qi Zhen must be one, if the nun kills Qi Zhen and unlocks the ninth seal, then Princess Linghai is estimated to have really been resurrected on the nun's body, and at that time, it is estimated that the Daluo Immortal may not be able to save the girl's life.
However, I still didn't rush back, and among the many antique artifacts in the mansion, there were also a few colored ones, and the number of bottles and jars, inkstones, and swords was just enough for nine.
I don't know exactly what to do with these nine things yet, but now that I've found them, I've decided to take them all with me. So everyone took the antiques and paintings they had found, and then ran quickly back to the lighthouse with me.
In order to prevent anyone from having an accident, after putting those antique picture frames on the elevator, I asked everyone to step back, and only Wu Xin and I went down with these things, and then we transported everything to the secret room little by little.
Nothing happened to Old Man Qi Zhen, and when he saw us coming in, he also hurried over to help. I set aside the ten paintings, and then placed the nine colored antiques around the entrance of the spiritual path, in order I don't know, but the approximate distance I tried to keep the same as on the tenth.
In the end, I handed these ashes incense burners to Xi Lin, asked him to stand among the nine antiques with the incense burners, and then opened the spiritual path to let Princess Linghai come out to see if these things could touch her.
As soon as he was ready, Xi Lin took a half step back, and almost at the same time as he stepped back, the entrance of the spiritual path was immediately expanded, and the nun jumped upwards suddenly, and the entire upper body suddenly emerged from the spiritual path. Her face was now very distorted, like the ninth painting.
But what worries me more is her belly, the contents seem to be alive again, and rolling back and forth, sometimes a small hand supporting the belly and pushing it out, and then a face is imprinted on the belly, as if the thing may break through the nun's belly and come into the world at any moment.
I hurriedly looked at Wu Xin, and Wu Xin immediately said: "The lifeline has been divided into two strands again, the thing in her stomach is alive, I have to kill it!" ”
After saying that, Wu Xin immediately summoned her ghost, and then prepared to rush towards the nun, but as soon as she moved, the nun immediately turned her head and glared at Wu Xin, and then raised her long knife and put it on her own neck.
"Don't move, if you come here, I'll cut off this girl's head!" Her voice became muddy, a bit like Li Xi before.
Wu Xin quickly stopped his movements and stepped back, and taking advantage of the time to collect the recruitment, the nun who had become like a yaksha also completely came out of the spiritual path.
At the same time as she came out, whether it was the paintings I put around or those antiques, they all began to react, and the aura of those colors became stronger and stronger, and even the tripod in Xi Lin's hand began to shake violently.
"Hahaha...... Hahaha! ”
I thought it was my hand that worked, but I didn't expect the nun to burst out laughing, and then the nine antiques around it all burst into flames, and a rune gradually appeared on the nun's head, which was not the same as the eight characters that appeared before, and I could see that the word was the ninth seal compared to the tenth painting I was standing next to!
At this time, I also realized the most crucial thing, Princess Linghai had already found the ninth victim, and that victim was beside her, it was the pregnant nun herself!
